Pennsylvania Army National Guard
In service
He first took to the sky in Vietnam, flying helicopters during the war. When he made a new home in the United States, he joined the Pennsylvania Army National Guard so he could keep flying the Huey. He loved serving his country, and that never stopped when he left the Guard. He gave his time to fellow veterans and stood proudly with the Red Rose Veterans Honor Guard, honoring those who served.
He was also proud to be part of the crew of Huey 091, known as “America’s Huey,” and flew several legs of its journey. The helicopter served in Vietnam and is now on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
